-Episode 14: The End of KC Grand Prix, Part 3-
"So Yugi... You promise you will destroy Stormburg, Castle of Gold?" Siegfried asked, intrigued.
"Yes..." Yugi said, looking back at Siegfried. Everyone but Siegfried could see it in Yugi's eyes, he was confident in destroying this magic card.
"How can Yugi win?" Anzu said, looking worried.
"Yeah. If Stormburg, Castle of Gold is immune to magic and traps, how will it be destroyed?" Jounochi wondered.
Suddenly Kaiba began to walk off. Siegfried smirked, turning to Kaiba's back. "Where are you going? Are you running away now?" Siegfried asked.
"I have my own battle to fight. This battle is Yugi's and I leave him to it." Kaiba said as Mokuba and the guard followed.
"Heh, you're too late, Seto Kaiba." Siegfried said in his mind.
Suddenly Yugi came forward, walking up to Leonhard. Leonhard looked up, a bit confused. "Leon..." Yugi said. "I don't want you to give up now. I won't give up and neither will you. We both need each other's help to end this duel. Duel with your full capacity!"
Leonhard looked back up at the smiling Yugi. Leonhard nodded and Yugi headed back to his side of the field. "Yugi is right..." Leonhard said, clutching his fist. "I must keep dueling!"
The score stood at Yugi: 2200 and Leonhard: 2100.
"My turn is over!" Leonhard announced.
"My turn, draw!" Yugi announced, drawing his card.
"Now, Yugi!" Siegfried yelled. "Stormburg, Castle of Gold will activate once again!"
"What?" Yugi said, looking over at Black Magician Girl.Suddenly Black Magician Girl lost control of her own body, pointing her small wand at Leonhard and firing a pink blast. The blast flew at Leonhard but then a barrier appeared, deflecting the attack. The pink blast flew right through Black Magician Girl, leaving a scream then exploding into pieces. Yugi gasped as his life points lowered to 1700, clearing his field of monsters.
"Ah!" Anzu gasped. "Black Magician Girl is gone!"
"And Yugi's life points has lowered...." Jounochi said, worried for Yugi.
Suddenly Cinderella's bare feet had changed, giving her brand new glass slippers, increasing her attack power to 1300.
"Another effect of Stormburg, Castle of Gold" Siegfried said, smiling. "Because you've started your turn, Yugi, you were forced to have Black Magician Girl to attack, thus saving Leonhard's monster and destroying your own monster, dealing half of it's attack strength to your life points."
"No way, so Yugi can't attack at all now..." Jounochi said in shock.
Kaiba arrived at the computer room where dozens of computer operatives got on the job, trying to find the virus and stop it. "Search Leon Wilson's Duel Disk for a source!" Kaiba yelled to the operators who simply replied with a 'Yes!'
"And I'll get search on Level E!" Mokuba said, running over to a computer screen.
"Yugi..." Leonhard said.
"Leon! Don't give up! We will keep dueling, don't give up hope!" Yugi said.
"Ok..." Leonhard said, still looking a bit down.
"Stormburg, Castle of Gold can't be easily stopped... It can't be stopped by the effects of a Magic or Trap card, but can it be stopped by a monster effect?" Yugi thought. "I know I certainly won't give up..."
"Yugi..." Anzu said, looking down at him.
"Now! I'll set a card face down, this ends my turn!" Yugi announced.
"Yugi plays as a true duelist..." Leonhard said, feeling a bit confused. "Draw!"
"Now! Stormburg, Castle of Gold is activated!" Siegfried yelled as the golden castle began to glow. "During each of the player's standby phase, the opponent must make a sacrifice to maintain this card... By discarding half of their deck to the graveyard!"
"What?!" Jounochi said.
"That's such a hard cost to pay for Yugi..." Sugoroku thought.
"Brother! What is going on?!" Leonhard yelled. Siegfried smirked, ignoring Leonhard.
"Now, Yugi! Sacrifice half of your deck!" Siegfried yelled, pointing at Yugi. Yugi silently took his deck out of his deck holster, taking the top half and sliding it into his graveyard. "Now, Leonhard. You must summon a level 4 monster from your deck!"
Leonhard looked down at the ground and back to Yugi. "Just keep dueling..." Yugi said, trying to comfort Leonhard.
"Right! Now I summon Wolf of The Forest! (1800/300)" Leonhard announced as the wolf in a pink apron materialized onto the field.
Siegfried smiled. "The virus will soon take over completely of KC Corporation." Siegfried smiled as right now, all around the world, other kid's duel disks began to malfunction, creating static on the holograms. "Now! Leonhard! You must attack Yugi's life points directly!"
Suddenly Cinderella began twirling, throwing her Glass Slipper's at Yugi. Yugi let out a growl as the slippers collided with him, reducing his life points to 400.
"Err..." Yugi growled, knowing if Wolf of The Forest attacked him, he'd lose the duel.
"Now! Here comes the final play!" Siegfried yelled as Wolf of The Forest began charging toward Yugi.
"Yugi!" Leonhard yelled as everyone else gasped.
The wolf jumped up at Yugi, ready to attack him. "Reverse trap card!" Yugi yelled as his face down card flipped up. "Revenge of Black Magic! This will allows me to summon a magician type monster to the field and I chose Black Magician Girl! (2000/1700)"
Suddenly the female magician appeared, whipping out her staff and sending a pink energy stream through the wolf, destroying it and reducing Leonhard's life points to 1900.
"Yes!" Anzu said happily.
"But since my Battle Phase has ended, Black Magician Girl goes back into my graveyard." Yugi said as Black Magician Girl exploded into pieces.
"No..." Jounochi said, seeing Yugi's empty field.
"My turn ends..." Leonhard announced.
"Draw!" Yugi announced, drawing his next card. "And now, Needle of Pongee Thread's effect is no more and Queen's Knight returns to the field! (1500/1600)"
Suddenly the red armored female warrior materialized onto the field. "Oh..." Leonhard said, remembering that he destroyed Queen's Knight three turns earlier.
"I'll then set two cards face down then activate this!" Yugi yelled, showing Leonhard a magic card. "Card of Sanctity which forces us to draw until we each have six cards in our hands!"
Leonhard drew two cards. "Hmmm..." He said.
Yugi drew a brand new hand since he set his other two cards down, leaving him with no cards. "I'll summon King's Knight to the field! (1600/1400)" Yugi announced as the orange armored warrior appeared on the field. "And because I've summoned King's Knight to the field and already have Queen's Knight, I can summon Jack's Knight (1900/1000) to the field, from my deck!"
Suddenly Siegfried laughed as the blue armored warrior materialized onto the field. "You can't even attack Leonhard's monsters." Siegfried said.
"I know." Yugi said, looking up at Siegfried.
"Huh?" Siegfried said, confused by Yugi's strategy.
"Now! I activate this, Royal Straight!" Yugi announced, sliding the magic card into the magic/trap card slot, activating it's effect. "This card will sacrifice Queen's Knight, King's Knight, and Jack's Knight!"
"What is he doing?" Siegfried wondered.
Suddenly all three knights burst into playing cards, raining down on Yugi's field. "To summon this! Royal Straight Flush! (2400/1350)" Yugi yelled as the green armored warrior materialized onto the field.
"Royal Straight Flush?" Leonhard said in confusion.
"Once this warrior is summoned, I can discard monsters with levels of 1 through 5 to activate Royal Straight Flush's effect!" Yugi said, taking his deck out. "And once I've sent those monsters to the graveyard, Leonhard's field will be cleared!"
"That's it! If Yugi destroys Stormburg, Castle of Gold, and all of Leon's monsters... Yugi can win the duel!" Jounochi said, snapping his fingers
"Level one, Kuriboh!" Yugi announced, sliding the card into the graveyard as he names them. "Level two, Old Vindictive Magician, Level three, Giant Warrior of Stone, level four Big Shield Guardna, and level five! Curse of Dragon!" Suddenly Royal Straight Flush lifted his sword up and it began to glow. "Now! Royal Straight Flush, Ultimate Fire!"
The warrior then smashed it's sword into the ground, sending a giant wave of smog toward Leonhard's monsters, destroying them then making it's way up toward the Castle of Gold. Suddenly an explosions occurred, creating a giant smoke cloud.
As the smoke cleared, a gold array of light appeared through the smoke. "Why?!" Leonhard said, looking back at the still standing Stormburg, Castle of Gold. Siegfried looked back at Yugi, snickering.
"This is ridiculous!" Jounochi yelled, turning toward Siegfried. "This magic card can't have so many effects like this!"
"I'll activate Worm Slip, removing Royal Straight Flush from play until my next stand by phase." Yugi announced as the magic card flipped up, sucking up the warrior. "My turn ends."
"Heh, nice way to avoid the effect of this great card." Siegfried said, smirking at Yugi. "Now, Leonhard! Start your turn so you can win this duel!"
"Draw..." Leonhard said, sadly drawing his next card.
"Now, Yugi, you must sacrifice half your deck!" Siegfried said.
"How can I?" Yugi asked.
"What do you mean?!" Siegfried said.
Yugi held up his duel disk. "I only have one card which will not satisfy Stormburg, Castle of Gold." Yugi said.
"No!" Siegfried said.
Suddenly the castle began to disappeared. "Yes!" Leonhard said happily as the castle completely disappeared.
"All right! There is a way to defeat Stormburg, Castle of Gold!" Jounochi said happily.
"Ahh, so Stormburg, Castle of Gold can't be destroyed by anything, but itself." Sugoroku said, smiling at Yugi's well played performance.
As Kaiba worked hard to defeat the Virus, suddenly a warning that Virus Guard has been put up. "Hmm.." Kaiba said, looking at a screen to where Leonhard and Yugi were dueling. "So he's found a way to defeat it..."
"Yes! Yugi stopped the virus!" Mokuba cheered.
Kaiba stood up. "Now! The virus has been stopped, put on the back up system now!" Kaiba ordered.
"So no what, Siegfried, you're plans has stopped!" Jounochi said.
"Not so fast!" Siegfried yelled. "Yugi only has one card in his deck. He won't last even a turn now! If Leonhard wins, the Schraider Family name will be reborn again!"
"Leon..." Yugi said. "These last turns will be the duel you've always wanted, so now! Let's battle!"
"Right!" Leonhard said happily.
"And since it's your Standby Phase, Royal Straight Flush returns to the field! (2400/1350)" Yugi announced as the armored warrior materialized onto the field.
"Now! I activate Raise Dead to bring back Cinderella! (300/250) And since Cinderella was summoned, it automatically brings up Horse Carriage of Pumpkin! (100/800)"
Suddenly the woman with the beautiful dress materialized onto the field along with the two horses with the pumpkin carriage. "What does Leon plan to do now?" Rebecca wondered.
"Now! I sacrifice Cinderella and Horse Carriage of Pumpkin to summon this, Hexac Rudy! (2600/1500)" Leonhard announced as a woman with long black hair and red dress appeared on the field. "Hexac Rudy, attack and destroy Royal Straight Flush!"
The woman held her hands up, blasting a ball of red energy at the warrior, destroying it, and reducing Yugi's life points to 200.
"Eh..." Yugi said, shielding himself from the giant wind which Hexac Rudy created.
"And since Hexac Rudy destroy a monster, it's attack points increase by four hundred! (3000/1500)" Leonhard explained. "My turn ends now."
"It all comes down to the last card in my deck..." Yugi said, placing his hand on the card. "Draw!"
Suddenly Yugi's eyes widen as he drew. "Huh?" Leonhard thought.
"Now! I'll set a card face down, then activate Emergency Provisions!" Yugi announced as the card appeared. "By sacrificing the card which I had set, I can gain one thousand life points! (Y: 1200)"
"What is he planning to do..." Siegfried wondered.
"Now! I activate this, Raise Dead!" Yugi announced, placing the card into the magic slot. "With this, I'll revive Black Magician! (2500/2100)"
"Black Magician!" Leonhard said in excitement as the purple armored magician materialized onto the field. "But Hexac Rudy is much stronger than Black Magician..."
"Now! Reverse card, Necromancy!" Yugi announced as his face down card flipped up. "This magic card will special summon four monsters from your graveyard to the field in defense mode!"
Suddenly Little Red Riding Hood, Hunter of The Forest, Iron Hans, and Black Knight materialized onto the field, defending themselves. "Eh?" Leonhard said, looking at the row of monsters.
"Once I destroy those monsters, Hexac Rudy will lose six hundred attack points for each monster." Yugi explained.
"But Black Magician will only be able to attack once." Leonhard said.
"Now! Reverse magic card, Scatter Wave!" Yugi commanded as his final face down card flipped up."By sacrificing one thousand life points, (Y: 200) Black Magician will be able to attack each monster on the field!"
"No!" Siegfried said in shock.
"Now! Black Magician, attack Leonhard's defending monsters now!" Yugi commanded. The magician held up it's staff, sending out four green waves, destroying the monsters as the waves collided with them, reducing Hexac Rudy's attack power to 600. "Finally, Black Magician, attack and destroy Hexac Rudy!"
The magician let out one final green wave, slashing through Hexac Rudy and destroying her, reducing Leonhard's life points to 0. Leonhard looked out of the zone as the monster was destroyed right before his eyes.
"Yes! Yugi won!" Jounochi said with victory.
"All right Yugi!" Honda and Otogi cheered.
"Yay for Yugi!" Rebecca and Anzu cheered, hugging each other.
Yugi smiled, walking up to Leonhard again. "Leon... You are a true duelist, you never gave up." Yugi smiled.
Leon smiled but then tears welded up in his eyes and he began to cry on Yugi. Siegfried came out onto the lower balcony. "Leonhard! How could you lose!" Siegfried said, shocked as ever, walking towards him.
Suddenly Kaiba appeared. "Kaiba Corporation has disposed of the virus! We will no get back in order!" Kaiba announced from the upper balcony. "You have failed, Siegfried Von Schraider! No one with the likes of you cannot defeat me!"
"No! This can't be!" Siegfried yelled.
Suddenly Leonhard walked up to Siegfried. "Brother..." Leonhard said. Siegfried turned around. "You've been angry so much. Haven't you learned a thing from this duel? No one with a bad attitude will ever win! We're family and we must love each other. Please understand that I love Duel Monsters. Don't hate Yugi or Kaiba anymore."
"Leonhard..." Siegfried said, looking deeply, feeling what Leonhard means. Siegfried collapsed onto his knees, crying a bit then hugging his dear brother.
"Now..." Kaiba said, looking at the security guard. The guard ran into the middle of the lower balcony, raising his hand toward Yugi.
"We have a winner of the KC Grand Prix!" The guard announced. "Duelist king, Mutou Yugi!"
Through out the world on the TV, kids cheered for Yugi's defeat, even Varon and Amelda looked happy toward Yugi's win, even with Mai.
As the tournament came to an end, Kaiba kept his side of the promise. The gang stood in the airport, saying their good byes. "So are you sure you do not want to come back to Japan?" Yugi asked Otogi.
"Nah, I should finish my work here, in America." Otogi said. "But once I'm done, I'll most likely come back to see Shizuka."
"Yeah right!" Honda and Jounochi both yelled while Otogi chuckled over their anger.
"So, you sure you're well enough to get going?" Rebecca's grandfather asked.
"Are you kidding? I'm better than good!" Sugoroku said but then suddenly feeling a crack in his back and going back into pain.
"Yugi...." Rebecca said, smiling at Yugi. "Good bye! I'll miss you so much!"
Rebecca jumped up onto Yugi, hugging him tight and sticking her tongue out at Anzu. "Yeah we'll miss you too, Rebecca" Anzu said.
After everyone said their good byes, they headed up onto the plane, waving toward Otogi, Rebecca, and her grandfather as their plane lifted up and flew away.
Meanwhile, Kaiba stood at his building, looking out the window as Yugi's plane flown off, heading back toward Japan.

"So Yugi... You promise you will destroy Stormburg, Castle of Gold?" Siegfried asked, intrigued.
"Yes..." Yugi said, looking back at Siegfried. Everyone but Siegfried could see it in Yugi's eyes, he was confident in destroying this magic card.
"How can Yugi win?" Anzu said, looking worried.
"Yeah. If Stormburg, Castle of Gold is immune to magic and traps, how will it be destroyed?" Jounochi wondered.
Suddenly Kaiba began to walk off. Siegfried smirked, turning to Kaiba's back. "Where are you going? Are you running away now?" Siegfried asked.
"I have my own battle to fight. This battle is Yugi's and I leave him to it." Kaiba said as Mokuba and the guard followed.
"Heh, you're too late, Seto Kaiba." Siegfried said in his mind.
Suddenly Yugi came forward, walking up to Leonhard. Leonhard looked up, a bit confused. "Leon..." Yugi said. "I don't want you to give up now. I won't give up and neither will you. We both need each other's help to end this duel. Duel with your full capacity!"
Leonhard looked back up at the smiling Yugi. Leonhard nodded and Yugi headed back to his side of the field. "Yugi is right..." Leonhard said, clutching his fist. "I must keep dueling!"
The score stood at Yugi: 2200 and Leonhard: 2100.
"My turn is over!" Leonhard announced.
"My turn, draw!" Yugi announced, drawing his card.
"Now, Yugi!" Siegfried yelled. "Stormburg, Castle of Gold will activate once again!"
"What?" Yugi said, looking over at Black Magician Girl.Suddenly Black Magician Girl lost control of her own body, pointing her small wand at Leonhard and firing a pink blast. The blast flew at Leonhard but then a barrier appeared, deflecting the attack. The pink blast flew right through Black Magician Girl, leaving a scream then exploding into pieces. Yugi gasped as his life points lowered to 1700, clearing his field of monsters.
"Ah!" Anzu gasped. "Black Magician Girl is gone!"
"And Yugi's life points has lowered...." Jounochi said, worried for Yugi.
Suddenly Cinderella's bare feet had changed, giving her brand new glass slippers, increasing her attack power to 1300.
"Another effect of Stormburg, Castle of Gold" Siegfried said, smiling. "Because you've started your turn, Yugi, you were forced to have Black Magician Girl to attack, thus saving Leonhard's monster and destroying your own monster, dealing half of it's attack strength to your life points."
"No way, so Yugi can't attack at all now..." Jounochi said in shock.
Kaiba arrived at the computer room where dozens of computer operatives got on the job, trying to find the virus and stop it. "Search Leon Wilson's Duel Disk for a source!" Kaiba yelled to the operators who simply replied with a 'Yes!'
"And I'll get search on Level E!" Mokuba said, running over to a computer screen.
"Yugi..." Leonhard said.
"Leon! Don't give up! We will keep dueling, don't give up hope!" Yugi said.
"Ok..." Leonhard said, still looking a bit down.
"Stormburg, Castle of Gold can't be easily stopped... It can't be stopped by the effects of a Magic or Trap card, but can it be stopped by a monster effect?" Yugi thought. "I know I certainly won't give up..."
"Yugi..." Anzu said, looking down at him.
"Now! I'll set a card face down, this ends my turn!" Yugi announced.
"Yugi plays as a true duelist..." Leonhard said, feeling a bit confused. "Draw!"
"Now! Stormburg, Castle of Gold is activated!" Siegfried yelled as the golden castle began to glow. "During each of the player's standby phase, the opponent must make a sacrifice to maintain this card... By discarding half of their deck to the graveyard!"
"What?!" Jounochi said.
"That's such a hard cost to pay for Yugi..." Sugoroku thought.
"Brother! What is going on?!" Leonhard yelled. Siegfried smirked, ignoring Leonhard.
"Now, Yugi! Sacrifice half of your deck!" Siegfried yelled, pointing at Yugi. Yugi silently took his deck out of his deck holster, taking the top half and sliding it into his graveyard. "Now, Leonhard. You must summon a level 4 monster from your deck!"
Leonhard looked down at the ground and back to Yugi. "Just keep dueling..." Yugi said, trying to comfort Leonhard.
"Right! Now I summon Wolf of The Forest! (1800/300)" Leonhard announced as the wolf in a pink apron materialized onto the field.
Siegfried smiled. "The virus will soon take over completely of KC Corporation." Siegfried smiled as right now, all around the world, other kid's duel disks began to malfunction, creating static on the holograms. "Now! Leonhard! You must attack Yugi's life points directly!"
Suddenly Cinderella began twirling, throwing her Glass Slipper's at Yugi. Yugi let out a growl as the slippers collided with him, reducing his life points to 400.
"Err..." Yugi growled, knowing if Wolf of The Forest attacked him, he'd lose the duel.
"Now! Here comes the final play!" Siegfried yelled as Wolf of The Forest began charging toward Yugi.
"Yugi!" Leonhard yelled as everyone else gasped.
The wolf jumped up at Yugi, ready to attack him. "Reverse trap card!" Yugi yelled as his face down card flipped up. "Revenge of Black Magic! This will allows me to summon a magician type monster to the field and I chose Black Magician Girl! (2000/1700)"
Suddenly the female magician appeared, whipping out her staff and sending a pink energy stream through the wolf, destroying it and reducing Leonhard's life points to 1900.
"Yes!" Anzu said happily.
"But since my Battle Phase has ended, Black Magician Girl goes back into my graveyard." Yugi said as Black Magician Girl exploded into pieces.
"No..." Jounochi said, seeing Yugi's empty field.
"My turn ends..." Leonhard announced.
"Draw!" Yugi announced, drawing his next card. "And now, Needle of Pongee Thread's effect is no more and Queen's Knight returns to the field! (1500/1600)"
Suddenly the red armored female warrior materialized onto the field. "Oh..." Leonhard said, remembering that he destroyed Queen's Knight three turns earlier.
"I'll then set two cards face down then activate this!" Yugi yelled, showing Leonhard a magic card. "Card of Sanctity which forces us to draw until we each have six cards in our hands!"
Leonhard drew two cards. "Hmmm..." He said.
Yugi drew a brand new hand since he set his other two cards down, leaving him with no cards. "I'll summon King's Knight to the field! (1600/1400)" Yugi announced as the orange armored warrior appeared on the field. "And because I've summoned King's Knight to the field and already have Queen's Knight, I can summon Jack's Knight (1900/1000) to the field, from my deck!"

"Now! I activate this, Royal Straight!" Yugi announced, sliding the magic card into the magic/trap card slot, activating it's effect. "This card will sacrifice Queen's Knight, King's Knight, and Jack's Knight!"
"What is he doing?" Siegfried wondered.
Suddenly all three knights burst into playing cards, raining down on Yugi's field. "To summon this! Royal Straight Flush! (2400/1350)" Yugi yelled as the green armored warrior materialized onto the field.
"Royal Straight Flush?" Leonhard said in confusion.
"Once this warrior is summoned, I can discard monsters with levels of 1 through 5 to activate Royal Straight Flush's effect!" Yugi said, taking his deck out. "And once I've sent those monsters to the graveyard, Leonhard's field will be cleared!"
"That's it! If Yugi destroys Stormburg, Castle of Gold, and all of Leon's monsters... Yugi can win the duel!" Jounochi said, snapping his fingers
"Level one, Kuriboh!" Yugi announced, sliding the card into the graveyard as he names them. "Level two, Old Vindictive Magician, Level three, Giant Warrior of Stone, level four Big Shield Guardna, and level five! Curse of Dragon!" Suddenly Royal Straight Flush lifted his sword up and it began to glow. "Now! Royal Straight Flush, Ultimate Fire!"
The warrior then smashed it's sword into the ground, sending a giant wave of smog toward Leonhard's monsters, destroying them then making it's way up toward the Castle of Gold. Suddenly an explosions occurred, creating a giant smoke cloud.
As the smoke cleared, a gold array of light appeared through the smoke. "Why?!" Leonhard said, looking back at the still standing Stormburg, Castle of Gold. Siegfried looked back at Yugi, snickering.
"This is ridiculous!" Jounochi yelled, turning toward Siegfried. "This magic card can't have so many effects like this!"
"I'll activate Worm Slip, removing Royal Straight Flush from play until my next stand by phase." Yugi announced as the magic card flipped up, sucking up the warrior. "My turn ends."
"Heh, nice way to avoid the effect of this great card." Siegfried said, smirking at Yugi. "Now, Leonhard! Start your turn so you can win this duel!"
"Draw..." Leonhard said, sadly drawing his next card.
"Now, Yugi, you must sacrifice half your deck!" Siegfried said.
"How can I?" Yugi asked.
"What do you mean?!" Siegfried said.
Yugi held up his duel disk. "I only have one card which will not satisfy Stormburg, Castle of Gold." Yugi said.
"No!" Siegfried said.
Suddenly the castle began to disappeared. "Yes!" Leonhard said happily as the castle completely disappeared.
"All right! There is a way to defeat Stormburg, Castle of Gold!" Jounochi said happily.
"Ahh, so Stormburg, Castle of Gold can't be destroyed by anything, but itself." Sugoroku said, smiling at Yugi's well played performance.
As Kaiba worked hard to defeat the Virus, suddenly a warning that Virus Guard has been put up. "Hmm.." Kaiba said, looking at a screen to where Leonhard and Yugi were dueling. "So he's found a way to defeat it..."
"Yes! Yugi stopped the virus!" Mokuba cheered.
Kaiba stood up. "Now! The virus has been stopped, put on the back up system now!" Kaiba ordered.
"So no what, Siegfried, you're plans has stopped!" Jounochi said.
"Not so fast!" Siegfried yelled. "Yugi only has one card in his deck. He won't last even a turn now! If Leonhard wins, the Schraider Family name will be reborn again!"
"Leon..." Yugi said. "These last turns will be the duel you've always wanted, so now! Let's battle!"
"Right!" Leonhard said happily.
"And since it's your Standby Phase, Royal Straight Flush returns to the field! (2400/1350)" Yugi announced as the armored warrior materialized onto the field.
"Now! I activate Raise Dead to bring back Cinderella! (300/250) And since Cinderella was summoned, it automatically brings up Horse Carriage of Pumpkin! (100/800)"
Suddenly the woman with the beautiful dress materialized onto the field along with the two horses with the pumpkin carriage. "What does Leon plan to do now?" Rebecca wondered.
"Now! I sacrifice Cinderella and Horse Carriage of Pumpkin to summon this, Hexac Rudy! (2600/1500)" Leonhard announced as a woman with long black hair and red dress appeared on the field. "Hexac Rudy, attack and destroy Royal Straight Flush!"
The woman held her hands up, blasting a ball of red energy at the warrior, destroying it, and reducing Yugi's life points to 200.
"Eh..." Yugi said, shielding himself from the giant wind which Hexac Rudy created.
"And since Hexac Rudy destroy a monster, it's attack points increase by four hundred! (3000/1500)" Leonhard explained. "My turn ends now."
"It all comes down to the last card in my deck..." Yugi said, placing his hand on the card. "Draw!"
Suddenly Yugi's eyes widen as he drew. "Huh?" Leonhard thought.
"Now! I'll set a card face down, then activate Emergency Provisions!" Yugi announced as the card appeared. "By sacrificing the card which I had set, I can gain one thousand life points! (Y: 1200)"
"What is he planning to do..." Siegfried wondered.
"Now! I activate this, Raise Dead!" Yugi announced, placing the card into the magic slot. "With this, I'll revive Black Magician! (2500/2100)"
"Black Magician!" Leonhard said in excitement as the purple armored magician materialized onto the field. "But Hexac Rudy is much stronger than Black Magician..."
"Now! Reverse card, Necromancy!" Yugi announced as his face down card flipped up. "This magic card will special summon four monsters from your graveyard to the field in defense mode!"
Suddenly Little Red Riding Hood, Hunter of The Forest, Iron Hans, and Black Knight materialized onto the field, defending themselves. "Eh?" Leonhard said, looking at the row of monsters.
"Once I destroy those monsters, Hexac Rudy will lose six hundred attack points for each monster." Yugi explained.
"But Black Magician will only be able to attack once." Leonhard said.
"Now! Reverse magic card, Scatter Wave!" Yugi commanded as his final face down card flipped up."By sacrificing one thousand life points, (Y: 200) Black Magician will be able to attack each monster on the field!"
"No!" Siegfried said in shock.
"Now! Black Magician, attack Leonhard's defending monsters now!" Yugi commanded. The magician held up it's staff, sending out four green waves, destroying the monsters as the waves collided with them, reducing Hexac Rudy's attack power to 600. "Finally, Black Magician, attack and destroy Hexac Rudy!"
The magician let out one final green wave, slashing through Hexac Rudy and destroying her, reducing Leonhard's life points to 0. Leonhard looked out of the zone as the monster was destroyed right before his eyes.
"Yes! Yugi won!" Jounochi said with victory.
"All right Yugi!" Honda and Otogi cheered.
"Yay for Yugi!" Rebecca and Anzu cheered, hugging each other.
Yugi smiled, walking up to Leonhard again. "Leon... You are a true duelist, you never gave up." Yugi smiled.
Leon smiled but then tears welded up in his eyes and he began to cry on Yugi. Siegfried came out onto the lower balcony. "Leonhard! How could you lose!" Siegfried said, shocked as ever, walking towards him.
Suddenly Kaiba appeared. "Kaiba Corporation has disposed of the virus! We will no get back in order!" Kaiba announced from the upper balcony. "You have failed, Siegfried Von Schraider! No one with the likes of you cannot defeat me!"
"No! This can't be!" Siegfried yelled.
Suddenly Leonhard walked up to Siegfried. "Brother..." Leonhard said. Siegfried turned around. "You've been angry so much. Haven't you learned a thing from this duel? No one with a bad attitude will ever win! We're family and we must love each other. Please understand that I love Duel Monsters. Don't hate Yugi or Kaiba anymore."
"Leonhard..." Siegfried said, looking deeply, feeling what Leonhard means. Siegfried collapsed onto his knees, crying a bit then hugging his dear brother.
"Now..." Kaiba said, looking at the security guard. The guard ran into the middle of the lower balcony, raising his hand toward Yugi.
"We have a winner of the KC Grand Prix!" The guard announced. "Duelist king, Mutou Yugi!"
Through out the world on the TV, kids cheered for Yugi's defeat, even Varon and Amelda looked happy toward Yugi's win, even with Mai.
As the tournament came to an end, Kaiba kept his side of the promise. The gang stood in the airport, saying their good byes. "So are you sure you do not want to come back to Japan?" Yugi asked Otogi.
"Nah, I should finish my work here, in America." Otogi said. "But once I'm done, I'll most likely come back to see Shizuka."
"Yeah right!" Honda and Jounochi both yelled while Otogi chuckled over their anger.
"So, you sure you're well enough to get going?" Rebecca's grandfather asked.
"Are you kidding? I'm better than good!" Sugoroku said but then suddenly feeling a crack in his back and going back into pain.
"Yugi...." Rebecca said, smiling at Yugi. "Good bye! I'll miss you so much!"
Rebecca jumped up onto Yugi, hugging him tight and sticking her tongue out at Anzu. "Yeah we'll miss you too, Rebecca" Anzu said.
After everyone said their good byes, they headed up onto the plane, waving toward Otogi, Rebecca, and her grandfather as their plane lifted up and flew away.
Meanwhile, Kaiba stood at his building, looking out the window as Yugi's plane flown off, heading back toward Japan.
